Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding
In Adjustable gastric banding procedure, a
hollow band made of special material is placed
around the stomach near its upper end, creating a
small pouch and a narrow passage into the larger
remainder of the stomach. The band is then
inflated with a salt solution. It can be
tightened or loosened over time to change the
size of the passage by increasing or decreasing
the amount of salt solution.

Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass
In Gastric Bypass procedure, a small stomach
pouch is created to restrict food intake. Next, a
Y-shaped section of the small intestine is
attached to the pouch to allow food to bypass the
lower stomach, the duodenum (the first segment of
the small intestine), and the first portion of
the jejunum (the second segment of the small
intestine). This bypass reduces the absorption of
nutrients and thereby reduces the calorie intake.

Laparoscopic Surgery
Laparoscopy is commonly performed procedure to
Investigate and some key hole surgeries on
abdominal and pelvic organs. Laparoscopy is
direct visualization of the abdominal cavity and
intra-abdominal organs by using a laparoscopy.
The laparoscope is a long thin instrument with a
light source at its tip, to light up the inside
of the abdomen or pelvis. Fibreoptic fibres carry
images from a lens, also at the tip of the
instrument, to a video monitor, which the surgeon
and other theatre staff can view in real time.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is put into the abdomen
through a special needle that is inserted just
above the navel. This gas helps to separate the
organs inside the abdominal cavity, making it
easier for the physician to see the
intra-abdominal organs during laparoscopy. The
gas is removed at the end of the procedure.
